My wife and I are both public school teachers. And in the state of Michigan it not only isn't illegal, it is said every morning.The pledge of allegiance has not be made illegal in any public school in the US.However what has been made illegal is for the teacher,coach,principle,school board ect to require that every student must recite the Pledge...Due to the religious nature of the Pledge a student can decline to participate in reciting the pledge if it is against their religious beliefs or lack thereof and the student can not be punished for doing so..

Should the Pledge of Allegiance be Changed?
what's wrong with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America? Most of us have said it since we were young children, with pride and gratefulness. Well, it is really a matter of opinion. I personally beleive that it should, since the pledge distinctly says "...one nation, under god..." and there are many Americans in the public school system that are either Atheists, Agnostics, or any other religion that does not worship god. For that matter, it souldn't say "In god we trust" on the dollar bill, but that's a completely different debate.
Did Obama omit the words under god in the pledge?
No, President Obama did not omit the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. This claim is a false rumor that circulated online. The president recited the pledge with the words "under God" during public events, just like his predecessors.
If two flags of different countries are displayed which pledge of allegiance is said first?
A pledge of allegiance would never be made to two different countries at the same time; any pledges that are made simultaneously would be made in the order in which they are required by several patterns, depending on who and what they are to. It doesn't matter how many flags are on display nor which ones they are.
How was religion taught in school?
Religion was never taught in school (if you mean public school). The pledge of allegiance was said at the beginning of the school day (having the term God in it), and you might have noticed the 10 commandments posted on the wall in one of your classrooms, but in general, religion was never a course that one could take for academic credit.
Do you have the right to refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance?
Yes you can refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance if it is against your religious values ormorale values. In that fact any other reason wold probably work also. Although you can refuse nothing is said that others may look down on you for it but that's just because they don't accept the diversity of this country.
